TIMETABLES
STATIVE VERBS

ENOUGH:
COMES AFTER ADJECTIVES OR ADVERBS

PRESENT PERFECT:

ACTIONS WHICH START IN THE PAST AND CONTINUE UP TO THE

PRESENT.
RECENTLY COMPLETED ACTIONS.
EXPERIENCES.

PAST PERFECT:

WE USE IT FOR ACTIONS THAT HAPPENED IN THE PAST

BEFORE ANOTHER ACTION IN THE PAST.

COUNTABLE AND UNCOUNTABLE NOUNS:

UNCOUNTABLE NOUNS ARE ALWAYS REFERRED TO AS SINGULAR IN

ENGLISH. THEY CANNOT BE PLURAL THEMSELVES AND CANNOT TAKE
THE ARTICLE 'A'OR 'AN'. EXAMPLE: SOME WATER.

A COUNTABLE NOUN CAN BE COUNTED, AND ALWAYS HAS THE

ABILITY TO BE MADE PLURAL. A SINGULAR NOUN MUST HAVE AN
ARTICLE IN FRONT OF IT. A/AN/THE. EXAMPLE: A BOOK/THE BOOK

IF YOU NEED TO COUNT AN UNCOUNTABLE NOUN YOU CAN DO IT BY

ADDING PARTITIVES SUCH US A PIECE OF, A BAR OF SOAP,...
QUANTIFIERS:

WE MUST MAKE A DISTINCTION BETWEEN COUNTABLE AND

UNCOUNTABLE ALONGSIDE AFFIRMATIVE, NEGATIVE AND
INTERROGATIVE.

MUCHO: MANY (C), MUCH (U), A LOT OF/LOTS OF (C,U)

POCO: (A)FEW (C), (A)LITTLE (U)
ALGO: SOME (A), ANY (I,N)

ED/ING ADJECTIVES:

THE -ENDING -ED IS USED WHEN THE ADJECTIVE DESCRIBES A

FEELING OR EMOTION.
I'M BORED MEANS 'I FEEL BOREDOM'

WHILE ADJECTIVES THAT END IN -ING REFER TO THE CAUSE OF

THAT FEELING OR EMOTION.
THIS FILM IS BORING, MEANS THIS FILM IS CAUSING BOREDOM.

-ING FORM:
AS A SUBJECT

AFTER GO
CERTAIN VERBS: HATE, FINISH, MISS, SUGGEST,...
TO INFINITIVE:
AFTER A NUMBER OF DIFFERENT ADJECTIVES
TO SHOW PURPOSE
AFTER WOULD LIKE, WOULD LOVE, WOULD PREFER,..
BARE INFINITIVE:
AFTER MODAL VERBS, HAD BETTER, WOULD RATHER, MAKE AND LET.
SUCH AND SO:
BOTH SO AND SUCH HAVE THE SAME MEANING AND MEAN 'VERY' OR
'MUCH'. WE USE THEM TO EXPRESS THAT SOMETHING HAS A HIGH
DEGREE OF A PARTICULAR QUALITY.
'SUCH' PRECEDES NOUN PHRASES AND SO PRECEDES ADJECTIVES
AND ADVERBS.
WE OFTEN USE THEM TO ADD EMPHASIS.
SO+ADJ/ADVERB. TOM IS SO TALL.
SUCH(A)+NOUN PHRASE. TOM IS SUCH A TALL BOY.
FUTURE:
WILL: DECISIONS MADE AT THE MOMENT OF SPEAKING.
